The frame is fitted to the outer firebox by locating the flanges inside the outer firebox. The slots in the frame sides
should align with the threaded holes. Ensure the frame is the correct way up. If they do not align then, either the
frame has been positioned upside down or the outer box has been twisted out of square to the wall during fitting.
The screws can now be fitted as shown in the photo below.
Small adjustments of the frame can be made if required due to the slots.
Ensure that the frame is not pressed tight against any plastered surface or surface that is likely to mark.
Once the frame has been fitted, then finally, the door can now be refitted
See Door Removal/Replacement.
Check the door seals correctly.
Check that the inner firebox is flush with the frame when the door is fitted. If it is not then the inner
firebox needs to be brought forward. See secti
on on inner firebox “engine” fitting. Failure to do this
could result in the air intake at the back of the inner box becoming blocked off effecting the operation
of the fire.
Commissioning
After Installation Is Complete
In your own interest and for safety, in the United Kingdom, it is the law that all solid fuel appliances are installed
by competent persons, a registered installer or approved by your local building control officer.
The Heating
Equipment Testing and Approval Scheme (HETAS) require its members to work to recognised standards.
Door Tension Adjustment
The door tension latch is factory set to give the optimum pressure on the door seal. It should not normally need
any adjustment until after the stove has had some considerable use or has had the glass replaced. However,
after installation and before commissioning check the door latch tension. If it needs tensioning then see section
in Servicing Instructions.
Air Supply
When commissioning the fire ensure that the air supply is adequate for the fire. An air supply may be required in
homes which have high levels of air tightness even if the fire output is 5kW or less. Particular attention should be
observed if there is a ceiling fan or extractor fan in the room or adjoining room as this may have an effect on the
draw of the flue / fire. The fire should be tested with the ceiling or extractor fan on and with all inter-connecting
doors to the room closed and then open. If required additional air may be required to overcome the extractor or
fan pressure.
